you'll always be diamonds in addressing the public

eggs in one basket
i hoped that you’d call
i hoped that we’d change
that i’d give you my all

i’m getting too jealous
i’m not letting you go
and somehow i can blame you
when i’m feeling alone

you know i couldn’t hate you
maybe one day i’ll try
you showed me what real is
you opened my eyes

you’ll always be diamonds
i’m the glass you engraved
push too hard and i’ll shatter,
sliced when you pull away

and i’ll always be running
and when you’re bored of the chase
i will beg you to love me
beg to not be replaced

i once thought you were perfect
all my flaws on display
like a magnified mirror
built to scare you away

and i think, did you know me?
or did i hide that inside
beneath coolness and freedom
behind terror and pride

and i know no one’s perfect
you know i’m not naive
but in your arms in those moments
each time i’ve had to leave

you showed me what love means
what it takes us to try
to believe in a future
all while saying goodbye
